Greg Kihn
Greg Kihn (born 1952 in Baltimore, Maryland) is a U.S. pop musician. As front man for the Greg Kihn Band, he is perhaps best known for the hit single Jeopardy. Other popular songs include The Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'Em) and Madison Avenue. Jeopardy later served as the basis for a parody (I Lost on Jeopardy) by "Weird Al" Yankovic.
Since 2001, the Greg Kihn Band has been one of the opening acts at the annual Kihncert, which is organized by San Jose, California radio station KUFX (promotional name "98.5 KFOX"), where Kihn is the morning DJ. His son Ry, named for guitarist Ry Cooder, sometimes plays with his dad's band, as well as a band of his own, Big Fun USA.
Kihn has also written four novels, "Horror Show", "Shade of Pale", "Mojo Hand", and "Big Rock Beat", and released a collection of short stories by himself, and other well known rock musicians, named "Carved In Rock; Short Stories By Musicians". Contributors include Ray Manzarek of The Doors, Pete Townshend of The Who, Joan Jett, and Ray Davies of The Kinks.
